An Analysis of DOD's Family

Housing Management Account

And Lease Construction Agreements


The Department of Defense can legally re-
program funds appropriated to operate and
.maintain family housing units controlled by
the military services. This flexibility is pro-
vided for in laws creating the family housing
management account and appropriating a
lump  sum  amount called operation,
maintenance to fund family housing pro-
grams.

Overseas, the Department has been given the
authority to enter into lease construction
agreements for family housing rental units
before it receives funds appropriated for the
leases. Such leases, provided they meet cer-
tain statutory limits on rental rates, are
authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2675, and are
meant to enable the Department to obtain
adequate housing for military  families.
